Mental Health

Ellis Hospital has been helping adults overcome mental illness for more than 35 years, and we offer specialized services for adolescents. We have a staff of adult, child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses and educators, all licensed and certified in their respective fields. If you, a loved one, or someone in your care needs help, Ellis Hospital is the place to turn.

Our Mental Health Services offers a comprehensive array of programs to assist people in achieving good mental health. From crisis to recovery, and every step in between, we offer a team approach to mental health treatment, with communication and support as our cornerstones.

Additionally, we have a veteran staff of highly trained professionals and caregivers, many of whom have 10, 15 and even 20 or more years of experience! We work closely with the Schenectady County Office of Community Services to provide emergency services to our community in times of critical need, and also to create new programs as various needs arise.
